Salammbo Hints
How do I turn off the green forcefield around the Zaimph?
1 of 10: The switch is embedded in a puzzle nearby.
2 of 10: Go to the base between the stairs and look down.
3 of 10: See the square indentations? To the right is a pile of tiles.
4 of 10: Pick up the tiles and insert them in the correct slots. Ah, but there's the rub, isn't it?
5 of 10: This is one place the King of Birds's poem doesn't help. You need a different poem here.
6 of 10: Did you notice the very odd thing the singing woman was singing? It only got translated once, but it's in your log if you missed it.
7 of 10: Don't worry about the meaning; just look for words in the song that you have tiles for.
8 of 10: The song was -- "Sometimes thin and bent like a galley with no masts she glides over a black sea Sometimes shiny and round, she skims the peaks of mountains, like a shepherd among the stars."
9 of 10: So that's Galley, Sea, Mountains, Shepherd, Stars --
10 of 10: -- and since the song is about Tanith, put the Crescent of Tanith underneath.
